  Dark, suspenseful, and more riveting than any thriller at the local cineplex, Three Seconds is the latest novel from bestselling Swedish duo Anders Roslund and Borge Hellstrom--the new masters of Scandinavian crime.

  Piet Hoffman, a top-secret operative for the Swedish police, faces his most dangerous assignment yet: after years spent infiltrating the Polish mafia, he's become a key player in their attempt to take over amphetamine distribution inside Sweden's prisons. To stop them from succeeding, he will have to go undercover, posing as a prisoner inside the country's most notorious jail.

  But when a botched drug deal involving Hoffman results in the death of another cop, the murder investigation is assigned to the brilliant but haunted Detective Inspector Ewert Grens--a man who never gives up until he's cracked the case. Grens's determination to find the killer not only threatens to expose Hoffman's true identity, it may reveal even bigger crimes at the heart of the Swedish justice system. And there are players who will do anything to stop Grens from discovering the truth.

  Winner of the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers' 2009 award for Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year and a New York Times bestseller in the United States, Three Seconds captures a nefarious world of betrayal and violence, where a wise man trusts no one and even the most valuable agent can be “burned.”

作者簡介

安德許.陸斯隆(Anders Roslund)

  1961年生,曾任新聞記者、瑞典國家電視台記者和製作人,並且擔任紀錄片導演,拍攝社會問題、貪污腐敗和犯罪等議題,其報導作品贏得了諸多獎項。他長期投入協助罪犯自新的工作,2004開始專職寫作。

博爾熱.赫史東(Borge Hellstrom)

  1957年生,他曾為罪犯和吸毒者,和其他十位犯罪者一起創立了KRIS組織,專門幫助罪犯和吸毒者改過自新、回歸社會。他常常受邀在瑞典的熱門新聞節目中評論犯罪與刑罰案件。

  陸斯隆和博爾熱共同撰寫了以葛蘭斯警司為主角的六部暢銷小說,該系列第一本《The Beast》即獲得北歐玻璃鑰匙獎,到目前為止,該系列已經獲得瑞典最佳犯罪小說大獎、國際匕首獎、年度最暢銷「白金口袋」獎等多個獎項。

  兩人認識的契機,是因為安德許在電視台工作時,同時也曾擔任觀護人,但他認為許多假釋犯都無法順利回歸社會,此時他聽說了一個叫做KRIS的非營利組織,專門幫助犯罪者重新適應社會,於是他和該組織聯繫,希望能拍攝他們的紀錄片,因此認識了博爾熱。在跟拍他們一年後,他完成了紀錄片Las in dom (Lock them up),獲得許多獎項。在此之後,兩人成為好友,本來希望能繼續拍片來探討此一議題,最後兩人決定一起寫書,用犯罪小說的形式來描寫監獄、犯罪者的成因以及社會的不公正,15年來兩人合作撰寫了六本小說。

  這對搭檔繼承了瑞典前輩荷瓦兒與法勒夫婦揭露社會黑暗面的寫作傳統,結合自身無與倫比的「第一手」經驗,在提供緊張懸疑的閱讀娛樂之餘,也試圖傳遞某種立場與信念,讓他們的小說有別於其他犯罪作品

  Award-winning journalist Anders Roslund and ex-criminal Borge Hellstrom are Sweden's most acclaimed fiction duo. Their unique ability to combine inside knowledge of the brutal reality of criminal life with searing social criticism in complex, intelligent plots has put them at the forefront of modern Scandinavian crime writing. In 2009, Three Seconds was awarded the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers' Award for Swedish Crime Novel of the Year, previously won by both Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell, and it was a top 10 best seller in Sweden for eight months.
